I work to reduce parts of our society based in plasticity and waste by upcycling materials into wearable jewelry or decorative wall hangings. And upcycling makes every piece one of a kind :)

 

As a preservice Art Educator, I am an active advocate for art education as well as creating lesson plans rooted in sustainability to encourage future generations to learn how to use what's around them to change the world. 

​

Advocacy Statement: Art education helps students explore and learn about emotions, different perspectives, other disciplines, and themselves. It supports students' emotional well-being by creating an inclusive environment that encourages self-discovery. It emboldens creative problem-solving, continuous growth and reflection, and critical thinking skills.
